Speculation surrounding Jota’s future at Al-Ittihad is sky-high, with conflicting reports emerging from Saudi Arabia about the player’s status at the club.
The whirlwind of confusion has left many scratching their heads, trying to decipher the true narrative behind the Portuguese winger’s situation.
Earlier this week, reports from Saudi Arabia strongly suggested that Jota had been released from his contract with Al-Ittihad, a surprising development given the fanfare surrounding his move to the Middle Eastern club. [RecordSport]
However, in a twist that added to the growing confusion, Jota was named on the bench for Al-Ittihad’s Thursday match. Not only was he included in the squad, but he also made an appearance, further contradicting the earlier reports of his release.

This potential loan could be a compromise, allowing Jota to find more consistent playing time while still being tied to his lucrative Al-Ittihad deal.
For now, all eyes will be on Al-Ittihad and Jota’s representatives as they navigate this complex situation and determine the best course of action for the talented winger’s future.
